writes in “Everyone Tells Me I Have a Great Voice” (page 60), is a lot more complicated than it looks. As it turns tasked Saverio Truglia with shooting some distinguished local pros in their element — behind a microphone—but the initial images weren’t as animated as he’d hoped. “At first, I told them to recite lines they knew well,” Truglia says. “It made for a realistic shot, but it fell flat. I needed something that felt like it was going to 11.” So he started playing director, giving the actors emotional cues and asking them to improvise. “I told Dave Leffel, ‘You are ,’” Truglia recalls. “His delivery was pure evil.” His instructions for Harlan Hogan? “State your lines like you’re speaking to God.” All that coaching got the job done. Says Truglia: “It’s a performance from them and it’s a performance from me.”
